Family Learning Festival 2023
Family Learning Festival is a national celebration which marks and inspires a love of learning in family life and takes place in October every year.
To mark the festival in North Ayrshire, the Family Learning Team organised a ‘Celebration of Play’ event, open to families from across all our schools.
Our ‘Celebration of Play’ took place on Tuesday 24th October at Auchenharvie Academy, with 22 families attending. There were a variety of table-top games on offer as well as traditional playground games delivered by several of the team.
To support our event, we received a few very kind donations –
Traditional games from Stevenson Library
20 large pizzas and cookies from Domino’s Stevenson
Sweets, crisps, and juice from ASDA Irvine
As well as the kind donations we would like to thank the staff from Auchenharvie Academy who allowed our team access to the large gym hall. This was a fantastic space for our event and ensured families had lots of space to enjoy the variety of games on offer, for all the family.
Finally, we would like to thank the families who were able to attend the event and made it a fun filled success. Below is a selection of photographs taken during our ‘Celebration of Play’ which capture the variety of games on offer as well as show lots of smiling spaces. Have a look and see if you can spot yourself, or a member of your family.
